Search for a network

Automatic	Your phone automatically searches for available networks
	and chooses the appropriate one. Every time you turn on
	your phone, it resets to Automatic.
Manual	The phone searches for networks and then shows a list
	of the ones that are available. If an available network is
	found, the word Available: appears on the screen followed
	by the name of the network. To choose the network listed,
	press OK.

	residential systems. When it finds the best system
	available, the phone shows the system name.
	If the phone does not find another system, the question
	Perform an extended search? will appear. Press OK if
	you wish to continue searching.

Select a public system

When you take your phone outside its home system, the phone is said to be roaming. The phone can search for home-type systems (that is, systems of the same type as your home system). Or, the phone can search for non- home-type systems.

Your service provider programs a list of preferred systems into your phone. These are systems with which your service provider has roaming agreements. Your phone looks for these systems when you are roaming.

Note: The options described here may not be available for your phone. Contact your service provider for information.

1Press Menu 4-6-7 (Menu > Settings > Network services > Public system selection) to tell your phone how to choose a public system (network).
